Toyota's near decade long winning streak at the Toyota Gazoo Racing 1000 Botswana Kalahari Desert Race (TGR1000) was finally put to an end over the weekend by Team Ford PIC: KENNEDY RAMOKONE.

JWANENG: Team Ford has put an end to Team Toyota's dominance in the Toyota Gazoo Racing 1000 Botswana Kalahari Desert Race (TGR1000) over the weekend.

Ford represented by the Neil Woolridge Motorsport (NWM) Ford Castrol Team scooped the first and second positions to claim weekend long TGR1000 in its return to Jwaneng.

It had seemed almost impossible to stop Toyota's near decade long winning streak in the race popularly known as Mantshwabisi. However, the NWM Ford Castrol Team had dominated the proceedings in Jwaneng for most parts of the three day racing.
